METAL DETECTING FINDS: HOOKED-CLASPS AND EYES
by Brian Read

This book draws together an extensive range of small metal artefacture with one or more hooks, variously known as clothing-fasteners, clothing-hooks, dress-fasteners, dress-hooks, hooked-fasteners, hooked-tags, hooks and eyes, cloak-fasteners, cloak-clasps and scarf-hooks.

Periods covered are Roman, early medieval, late medieval, early post-medieval and late post-medieval.

The author explains both textually and illustratively what is currently known about when, where and how these objects were used, and their manufacture. Also covered are miscellaneous objects with hooks, eyes, loops, rings or toggles.

Intriguing and frequently beautiful works of art, these objects are subjected to their in-depth study under one cover.

A4, softback, 242 pages.

METAL DETECTING FINDS: THIMBLES

Metal Sewing Thimbles Found in Britain – by Brian Read
(1st Published 2018 by Archeopress)

Hundreds of colour photographs and archaeological drawings

This is the first reference book that deals specifically with all types of sewing-thimble found in Britain, made from copper-alloy or silver, or either of these metals combined with iron or steel; also included is a seemingly rare gold specimen. Domed, ring-type and open-top (here the latter classed as a new type) sewing-thimbles are described, among them unusual examples and others previously absent from the known record. From Britain the earliest reliable dating for these humble yet fascinating tools is between c.1270 - c.1350, and continues through the medieval and early post-medieval period and into the 18th and 19th centuries.
